Displaying ascii boxes

This is a discussion on Displaying ascii boxes within the C Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; hey ,so i have a function which draws a box on the screen every time i call it.
the box ...

You would do stuff like set_screen('_', x, y) in for loops to make the tops of da boxes. Jus like a gotoxy() in DOS, but dis way you can make da whole screen at once, den print da buffer to da screen all at once. Make more cents?
